DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Notice of Release of an Easement 

Restriction at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway 

Airport, Mesa, AZ 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Request to Release 

Airport Land. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) proposes to rule 

and invites public comment on the 

application for a release of a U.S. Air 

Force easement restriction covering 52.6 

acres of property abutting Phoenix-Mesa 

Gateway, Mesa, Arizona, from all 

conditions contained in a grant of an 

easement, since the easement is not 

needed for civilian airport purposes. In 

exchange for the easement, the airport 

will receive 19 acres of land and a new 

avigation easement. Reuse of the land 

under the easement will remain 

compatible and not interfere with the 

airport or its operation. The interest of 

civil aviation is properly served by the 

release. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 19, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Comments on the request may be mailed 

or delivered to the FAA at the following 

address: Tony Garcia, Airports 

Compliance Program Manager, Federal 

Aviation Administration, Airports 

Division, Federal Register Comment, 

15000 Aviation Blvd., Lawndale, CA 

90261. In addition, one copy of the 

comment submitted to the FAA must be 

mailed or delivered to Mr. Walter Fix, 

Phoenix-Gateway Airport Authority, 

5835 S. Sossaman Road, Mesa, Arizona 

85212, Telephone: (480) 988–7709. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Wendell H. Ford 

Aviation Investment and Reform Act for 

the 21st Century (AIR 21), Public Law 

10–181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this 

notice must be published in the Federal 

Register 30 days before the Secretary 

may waive any condition imposed on a 

federally obligated airport by surplus 

property conveyance deeds or grant 

agreements. 

The following is a brief overview of 

the request: 

Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport 

Authority, Mesa, Arizona requested a 

release of an easement that was obtained 

from the U.S. Air Force via an 

Assignment of Easement on April 14, 

1998. The easement covers 

approximately 52.6 acres of private 

property. It extends eastward from the 

airport boundary and is located east of 

Ellsworth Road and north of Pecos 

Road. Use of the private property east of 

the airport is restricted by the easement. 

Relinquishment of the easement will not 

harm the airport because it is being 

replaced with a standard avigation 

easement. The new easement will 

provide the airport with a continued 

right for aircraft to fly in the airspace 

above the private property. It will also 

prevent interference with airport 

operations and the erection of 

obstructions that pose a hazard to 

aircraft. As compensation, the private 

land owner will convey 17.53 acres of 

land at no cost to the Airport Authority 

that will serve an airport purpose. The 

land will allow the airport to have a 

complete runway protection zone for 

runway end 30R on airport property. 

Presently, a portion of the RPZ extends 

beyond the airport boundary to the 

private property located east of 

Ellsworth Road. The Airport Authority 

has agreed to the exchange because the 

restrictive easement is not needed and 

will be replaced with an avigation 

easement. The airport will be 

additionally compensated with a 

donation of land that has an immediate 

airport purpose. The use of the property 

under the new easement will continue 

to be used compatibly with the airport 

and not cause interference with airport 

operations. The exchange is equitable 

and the donation of land to the airport 

clearly serves the interests of civil 

aviation.

10, 2011.
